Welcome to Wimbledon and Putney Commons
Wimbledon and Putney Commons offer visitors 1,140 acres of calm and tranquillity in the midst of the urban surroundings of Wimbledon, Putney and Kingston-upon-Thames. Designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation, the Commons are made up of mosaic of woodland, scrubland, heathland and grassed recreation areas, along with 40 acres of playing fields, a golf course (believed to be the longest continually played course in England) and nine ponds.
Created by an Act of Parliament in 1871, a board of Conservators ensure that the Commons are kept “forever open and unenclosed" and preserved and protected for use for the purposes of exercise and recreation. The Commons were registered as a charity in 1972.
